The federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., that last week indicted former President Donald Trump is meeting again Tuesday, a strong sign that special counsel Jack Smith’s criminal investigation into Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election results soon could add more defendants.
NBC News reported that multiple members of the grand jury were seen around the E. Barrett Prettyman Courthouse in Washington.
The same panel on Aug. 1 charged Trump with four felony counts related to his attempt to reverse President Joe Biden’s victory over him.
The indictment details the role that six alleged co-conspirators, most of them lawyers, played in that scheme.
Those six people were not identified by name. But there has been speculation since the indictment that some or all of them could soon be criminally charged.
Smith last week had pointedly said, “Our investigation of other individuals continues.”
